The Shipyard CLI

A tool to manage Ephemeral Environments on the Shipyard platform.

Installation

• Linux and macOS

  curl https://www.shipyard.sh/install.sh | bash
  

• Windows Navigate to the releases page and download the executable for Windows.

• Homebrew

  brew tap shipyard/tap
  brew install shipyard
  

Login

Run shipyard login to initialize the CLI. This will prompt you to log in to Shipyard in the browser. The CLI will then save your API token in a local config. You're ready to start running commands.

Or Set Your Token Manually

Set your Shipyard API token as the value of the SHIPYARD_API_TOKEN environment variable.

You can get it by going to your profile page.

You can get in touch with us at support@shipyard.build if you would like to enable API access for your org. If you have any other questions, feel free to join our community Slack.

shipyard set token

Alternatively, you can use a configuration file stored in $HOME/.shipyard/config.yaml by default. When you run the CLI for the first time, it will create a default empty config that you can then edit.

You can also specify a non-default config path with the --config {path} flag added to any command.

Add any configuration values in your config and ensure the file follows YAML syntax. For example:

api_token: <your-token>
org: <your-non-default-org>

The values of your environment variables override their corresponding values in the config.

Basic usage

Get all orgs you are a member of

shipyard get orgs

Set the global default org

shipyard set org {org-name}

Get the currently configured org

shipyard get org

List all environments

shipyard get environments

Available flags:

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
branch	Filter by branch name	string
deleted	Return deleted environments	boolean	false
json	Print the complete JSON output	boolean	false
name	Filter by name of the application	string
org-name	Filter by org name, if you are part of multiple orgs	string	your default org
page	Page number requested	int	1
page-size	Page size requested	int	20
pull-request-number	Filter by pull request number	string
repo-name	Filter by repo name	string

Examples:

• List all environments running the repo flask-backend on branch main:

shipyard get environments --repo-name flask-backend --branch main

• List all deleted environments:

shipyard get environments --deleted

Get details for a specifc environment by its UUID

shipyard get environment {environment_uuid}

Available flags:

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
json	Print the complete JSON output	boolean	false
org-name	Filter by org name, if you are part of multiple orgs	string	your default org

Stop a running environment

shipyard stop environment {environment_uuid}

Restart a stopped environment

shipyard restart environment {environment_uuid}

Cancel ongoing build for an environment

shipyard cancel environment {environment_uuid}

Rebuild an environment

shipyard rebuild environment {environment_uuid}

Revive a deleted environment

shipyard revive environment {environment_uuid}

Get all services and exposed ports for an environment

shipyard get services --env {environment_uuid}

Exec into a running environment's service

Execute any command with any arguments and flags in a given service for a running environment. Pass any command arguments after a double slash.

shipyard exec --env {environment_uuid} --service {service_name} -- bash

Port forward a running environment's service's port

shipyard port-forward --env {environment_uuid} --service {service_name} --ports {local_port}:{service_container_port}

Get logs for a running environment's service

shipyard logs --env {environment_uuid} --service {service_name}

Visit an environment

shipyard visit {environment_uuid}

Available flags:

Name	Description	Type	Default Value
follow	Follow the logs output	boolean	false
tail	# of recent log lines to show	int	3000

Work with volumes

List all volumes in an environment

shipyard get volumes --env {environment_uuid}

List all volume snapshots in an environment

shipyard get snapshots --env {environment_uuid}

Reset a volume in an environment

shipyard reset volume --env {environment_uuid}

Create a snapshot in an environment

shipyard create snapshot --env {environment_uuid}

Load a volume snapshot in an environment

shipyard load snapshot --env {environment_uuid} --sequence-number {n}

Upload a file to a volume in an environment

shipyard upload volume --env {environment_uuid} --volume {volume} --file {filepath.bz2}

Connect to telepresence

shipyard telepresence connect --env {environment_uuid}

From there, you'll be able to communicate directly with all pods in the namespace. You may have to use the namespace hostname to communicate with services, which you can get via telepresence status under the Namespace field. For example, to communicate with redis, you'd use redis.shipyard-app-build-{uuid}

Build executable from code:

You can make an executable by running the following command:

make

To run this new executable:

./shipyard

Enable Autocompletion

Bash

This script depends on the bash-completion package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager. To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(shipyard completion bash)

To load completions for every new session, execute the following once.

On Linux:

shipyard completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/shipyard

On macOS:

shipyard completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/shipyard

Zsh

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment, you will need to enable it. You can execute the following once:

echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(shipyard completion zsh); compdef _shipyard shipyard

To load completions for every new session, execute the following once.

On Linux:

shipyard completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_shipyard"

On macOS:

shipyard completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_shipyard

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

Fish

To load completions in your current shell session:

$ shipyard completion fish | source

To load completions for each session, execute once:

shipyard completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/shipyard.fish

PowerShell

To load completions in your current shell session:

shipyard completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To load completions for every new session, run:

shipyard completion powershell > shipyard.ps1

and source this file from your PowerShell profile.
